I have found your annotations very interesting, but I wanted to comment on your interpretation of 107: Small Kindnesses. I was surprised that this was not classified under "Good Stuff."My understanding of this Surah was that those who do not act charitable cannot call themselves religious, no matter how much they pray or worship. This puts small kindnesses and charity at the heart of Islam. I think you interpreted it the other way around: if not religious then cannot be charitable. But if you read the whole Surah I think it reads as: if not charitable then cannot claim to be religious. If that makes any sense. :) Would be interested to hear your thoughts.
